Don’t you think the local school

argument why a community should
not educate its children?
Date of holding the state reun¬
ion of Confederate veterans has
been changed to Nov. 8. The
railroads will give a very low rate.
From all sections of Georgia

There is talk of the Populists

year. It is believed that they can
got all the offices filled without

Billy Smith, manager of the

It looks as if Sidney Tapp and

The Southern Cotton Growers

President Roosevelt is scheduled
to pass through Macon on the
night of October 2, and everybody
in the city is planning to stay
awake in ordet to get a glimpse ol
him. Teddy is a queer sort of crea¬
ture, but sti 11 the curiousity of the
people is more queer.
By an error on the part of the
printer, one of the beet premiums
was left out ot the premium list of
the big fair at Macon. $50 was
fered for the best bushel of oats,
The Fair Association desires to
encourage oat growing, and will
increase the amount of the prem¬
ium for this item every year. In
the several individual exhibits
this oats will form a part. By the
way, Col. Jim Hunt, the well
known Jones county farmer, says
the individual displays this year
will surpass the county displays
of previous years.
If one kills himself he is called
a suicide, if lie kills a brother he
is called a fratricide, if he kills
someone of no kin he is a homicide
but it he kills his town by sending
away to buy things that he ought
to buy at home, ho becomes the
entire lot of “cides” Into one.
We wonder if people who continu¬
ally buy goods away from home
ever think of the tendency of this
unwise practice. They are help¬
ing to kill the town in which they
live by destroying its busiuss and
lowering the price of real estate
and driving out its population.
Enough people engaged iu this
business will depopulate any town
in a short time.—Gainesville Sun.
The Outlook for Cotton.
The following from the Sanders
ville Progress, are our sentiments
that have been expressed time and
again.
I 4 Any commodity throw the
on
market at one time will depress
the price.
If marketed by the producers as
needed, the price will always range
highHr.
The gradual marketing of the
cotton crop last year brought good
results, and should be an object
lessou for the farmers for all
times.”
Do not rush your cotton on the
market but sell a little at a time,
and ruti the selling seasou over
into next spring if necessary.
If funds are needed, go to the
banks, and they will assist you.

The Busy Season Opens.
Saturday in reality marked the
-opening of the busy fall season in
Coviugtou.
For cotton is the great lover
that moves the commercial world
hereabout, and Saturday the bales
of fleecy staple poured in.
The receipts for the day were
125 bales.
It was like turning steam into
a ponderous engine, causing every
wheel to revolve again. The price
received for it was good,something
in the neighborhood of l(ty cents.
Covington did not receive a bale
until Tuesday when two were
marketed. Up to date two hun¬
dred and fifty have found their
way to Covington and from now
on, should the price remain above
10 cents, the streets will be lively.
The cotton brought here this
season is good, free of trash and
stains. Much of it was picked in
good weather and hurried to the
ginnery.
Covington, A Cotton Factor.
For many years Covington has
enjoyed the enviable reputation of
being one of the Lest cotton mar¬
kets in the state. That it will
continue to be the best no one
doubts; that it will be a better one
this season is the belief of every¬
one.
The men who are responsible for
this state of affairs are iactors in
the cotton market this season— N.
S. Turner, L. D. Adams and S. P.
Thompson.
A large new brick warehouse in
nearing completion and a new
compress, with a capacity of over
one hundred bales per. hour, is un
der construction,
Another feature that must not
be overlooked is the fact that Cov¬
ington is an excellent marketing
place. Those who bring their
products here for sale and wish to
trade, can realize a full dollars
worth for every hundred cents
spent with our merchants.*" This
city has many big mercantile
houses, whose advertisements will
be constantly seen in the Enter¬
prise. Our merchants are progres¬
sive and have made Covington the
the great shopping center it is.
So, bring your cotton to Coving¬
ton and realize every cent the mar¬
ket will afford. Wacth the columns
of the Enterprise and when bar¬
gains are offered take advantage of
them.
Hoke Smith on Guery’s Card.
Commenting on Mr. Guerry’s
card, Mr. Smith said:
"Mr. Dupont Guerry started
with the charge, no matter how ex¬
pressed, that I solicited him to be¬
come candidate for governor, and
then deserted him to support one
of his competitors. He has finally
admitted in the concluding para¬
graph of his lengthy letter that
‘MR. SMITH NEVER PERSUA¬
DED NOR INDUCED ME TO
RUN AS HAS BEEN SOME¬
TIMES CHARGED.’
( t He does not assert and cannot
assert that either by letter or in
conversation I promised him my
support, conditionly or uncondi¬
tionally, by express words or by
implication.
"I will rest the case here with¬
out taking time to correct in de¬
tail the many inaccurate state¬
ments which he has made.
"It is manifestly unfair for him
at this late day, after his long suf¬
fering silence, to hold me responsi¬
ble for ‘the impressions’ made
upon the mind of a candidate evi
dently much impressed with a
sense of his own importance, eager
to believe that every one was for
him, and quite ready to mistake
ordinary courtesy and common
politeness for implied assurances
of political support.
I 4 For the inscrutable and uncom
municated workings of his active
brain I am not responsible.”
There has been some talk lately
of opposition to Col. Livingston
for Congress, but if your Uncle Lou
wants to go back he’ll win against
anybody.—Conyers Banner,
